victim of his situation, Griezmann could leave by the end of the transfer window, Deschamps attentive!

Antoine Griezmann is not having a smooth start to the season. The French striker sat on the substitutes’ bench in the first three La Liga games. However, his services are not the cause of this situation, quite the contrary. Entering the hour mark of each match, the native of Mâcon distinguished himself by scoring two decisive goals for his team. The former Real Sociedad player is the collateral victim of the negotiations between Atlético Madrid and Barça around his purchase option. A clause stipulates that if the player takes part in more than 50% of the matches played by the Colchoneros, the latter will have to recruit him definitively against 40 million euros. In the midst of negotiations to lower or even remove this clause, the Madrid leaders instructed Diego Simeone not to let him play more than 45 minutes, the limit for a match to be considered played according to this clause.

Deschamps flies to his rescue

As a result, Antoine Griezmann’s future appears uncertain, as pointed out The Team. The player wishes to stay in the capital but a departure cannot be ruled out given his situation. For his part, Didier Deschamps is following the case carefully and recently heard from the player to reiterate his confidence in him. If he is worried a few months before the World Cup, the coach has supported one of his key players since taking office at the head of the Blues.
